Brand new from today! Although the background was easy to deal with, there is some judicious metering work involved.  |

I was going to put this in the gallery... but I'm not happy with how I got rid of the lens flare. |

| Your lens flare removal job looks okay from here.
However, if you want a really smooth sky, try this:
1. Duplicate the image as a second layer.
2. Choose the lower layer, and run a Filter - Noise - Median with a large radius (e.g., 50 pixels)
3. Erase through the upper layer where it's blotchy to expose smoother sky underneath. Stay away, generally, from the edges of the leaves.

This may be an extreme example but I liked the fenced in effect.
Excellent thread and information Noel. -- I post therefore I am. |
